I'm almost done with my 51. wooohooooo !!! If i could turn back the clock i would have moved the gas tank. There sure ain't much room in these old trucks. I'm not a big guy [5'8'' 175 lb] but someone 6' 250lb it would be tight. LIVE AND LEARN

 

The top of the seat back hits the window before the seat hits the gas tank. Moving it doesn't gain anything (with most seats).

 

YEP Guess your right. I been driving my fx4 for so long . Its just diff.

 

Guys isnt the answer obvious, build a panel truck......LOL

Or, a crew cab.

 

I'm 6'2", about 2(mumble, mumble) pounds and I fit in my stock truck pretty comfortably. I do have a problem with steering wheel swelling every year when I pull it out of winter storage but I still fit.

My steering wheel does the same thing, every spring it is swelled from winter storage!

 

I have noticed that my cab seems to have shrunk too. What causes this? Do you think we could get a federal grant to study this phenomenon?

 

I would say this would be a good use for some stimulus money.

 

Well sh#$, guess I might as well scrap it out now.......since I'm 6'4" and fairly wide. That sucks, I was just about done too....

 

I'm 6'2" and 225 pounds. I used a 90 Ranger bench seat in my 48 and kept the gas tank in the stock location. The Ranger seat has a thinner back and I tilted it back. I had no problem with room at the steering wheel...

 

My real trouble is my left leg . It don't bend like my right. Its made of pastic and steel.

 

We could design a bubble in the toe board for you?

 

Had the original seat done a couple months ago(looks g00d) after putting it in ,yea it is tight,and i am 5'6" and 120lbs. Guess no one was tall when these were new(yea right).
